Uplift Model

The Uplift Model

Student
Achievement - At The Heart Of Everything We Do

Uplift Education
has a research-based, proven approach to education across our schools.
Below are the core components of how we deliver on student achievement:

A
culture that promotes positive, high expectations for our students and
staff:
Everyone is focused on learning and doing “whatever it takes” for our
students to be successful

Mission-focused
on “Shine through Life”: We view college as one step on our
student’s journey to be productive, responsible leaders in the community

Empowered
school leaders:
Our leaders have the freedom to build their school’s culture, hire and
remove their staff and manage their operating budget while being held
accountable for their school’s results

Efficient
centralized services that allow school leaders to focus on what really
matters:
Uplift’s central office manages HR, finance, facilities planning,
fundraising, technology and PR on behalf of our schools at a cost that is
meaningfully less than that often found within traditional school
districts

Serve
grades K-12:
We believe in the importance of vertical alignment and that discussions
about college need to start in kindergarten

International
Baccalaureate curriculum: We have a rigorous college preparatory
curriculum including IB and Advanced Placement classes

More
time on task:
We have extended school days and a multi-week Summer Leadership program

Data
matters:
We set goals at the student, teacher and leadership levels at the
beginning of the year and actively monitor progress using regular
assessments

Freedom
to innovate:
We encourage our teachers and school leaders to constantly identify
and incorporate best practices into their classrooms and schools

Appointed
board structure:
The Uplift board is appointed and focuses on network-wide direction and
policy while each campus has a local advisory council of community leaders
to ensure more granular focus on student achievement
